<h2>What is a urinary tract infection?</h2>

<p>A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in the urinary tract.<br />
<br />
Your baby&#39;s urinary tract consists of her kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra. The urethra is the tube that runs down from your baby&#39;s bladder to her genitals.<br />
<br />
An infection can happen when bacteria spread into the urethra from the skin around your baby&#39;s bottom and genitals. The bacteria can cause inflammation at any point along the tract.</p>

<h2>How will I know if my baby has a UTI?</h2>

<p>It can be difficult to tell if a baby has a UTI. If your baby is unwell with any of the following it could mean she has a UTI:</p>

<ul>
	<li>fever</li>
	<li>vomiting</li>
	<li>sleepy and lethargic</li>
	<li>irritable</li>
	<li>not feeding well</li>
	<li>not gaining weight properly</li>
	<li>jaundice</li>
	<li>blood in her urine</li>
	<li>cloudy urine</li>
	<li>unpleasant-smelling urine</li>
</ul>

<p><br />
If your child is older and potty trained, she may need to pee a lot and it may be painful when she does. She may not want to empty her bladder if it hurts to pass urine, and she may complain of a tummy ache.</p>

<h2>Should I take my child to the doctor if I suspect she has UTI?</h2>

<p>It&#39;s important to take your baby to your doctor if you think she has a UTI. If her infection is left untreated, it could move to her kidneys and cause problems.<br />
<br />
If your baby has signs of a UTI, your doctor may recommend that she get tested. The test will require your baby&rsquo;s sterile urine sample to be collected to find out which bacteria are causing it.<br />
<br />
If you can manage to get your baby to pee directly in a sterile you can submit that sample. Sterile containers are provided by the testing lab or you can get one from the local chemist.<br />
<br />
In case that doesn&rsquo;t work a nurse or a lab personnel may insert a tiny catheter (thin, flexible, sterile tube) through the urethra to collect the sample.<br />
<br />
If your child is older and toilet trained, she may be able to pass urine directly into a sterile container. This can be done by you at home or at the lab.<br />
<br />
In addition to the regular urine test, your doctor might recommend a more detailed urine culture. The results of the culture will take a few extra days to arrive.<br />
<br />
If your baby is younger than six months or has had several UTIs, your doctor may refer her for other tests. Your baby may have a scan called a renal ultrasound. The scan will check how her kidneys and bladder are working.</p>

<h2>How will my baby&#39;s UTI be treated?</h2>

<p>Your doctor will prescribe your baby a course of antibiotics to take at home for three days. Your baby&#39;s UTI should clear up within two days after treatment starts. Make sure your baby finishes the course of antibiotics, even if she seems better.<br />
<br />
If the infection is in your baby&#39;s kidney, she will need antibiotics for seven days to 10 days.<br />
<br />
You should take your baby to see your doctor again if her condition gets worse or if she has any new symptoms. New symptoms can be a sign of sepsis, which happens when the body starts to attack its own tissues and organs. It probably isn&#39;t sepsis, but it&#39;s important to get her checked again anyway.<br />
<br />
If your baby is under three months old or very unwell, she will need to go to hospital, where she will be given antibiotics through a drip in her arm.</p>

<h2>Is there anything I can do to prevent my baby getting a UTI?</h2>

<p>Some babies are more prone to UTIs, but there are a few things you can do to help prevent your baby from getting one:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Wipe your baby&#39;s bottom from front to back when you change her nappy.</li>
	<li>Change her nappy as soon as she&#39;s done a poo.</li>
	<li>Make sure your baby gets plenty of fluids to help flush bacteria out of her system. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, offer her more breastfeeds. If she is on formula or on solids, offer her cooled, boiled water at regular intervals.</li>
	<li>If your child is potty trained and old enough to clean herself, teach her to wipe her bottom from front to back and wash herself properly.</li>
	<li>Encourage your child to go to the toilet regularly.</li>
</ul>


Treating UTI in toddlers

<h2>What is ringworm?</h2>

<p>Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection of the skin that has nothing to do with worms. It&#39;s called ringworm because the infection appears as a rash in a ring or round shape.<br />
<br />
It can be itchy, but it&#39;s not painful or dangerous. It&#39;s the same fungus that causes athlete&#39;s foot. It&#39;s common in children and usually affects only the body or scalp.</p>

<h2>What does a ringworm rash look like?</h2>

<p>If your baby has ringworm, she will have a rash of one or several red rings on her chest, stomach, thighs, or back. The rings will be crusty or scaly on the outside and smooth in the middle. They may also feel itchy. As the fungus grows, the rings get larger, ranging in size from a few millimetres to a few centimetres.<br />
<br />
Ringworm can also affect your baby&#39;s scalp. It usually appears as dandruff or bald patches. It can be dry and crusty, or moist and filled with pus. It is easy to confuse ringworm with dandruff or cradle cap.<br />
<br />
See a photo of ringworm in our rashes and skin conditions gallery.</p>

<h2>How did my baby get ringworm?</h2>

<p>The ringworm fungus would have entered your baby&#39;s body through broken skin, such as a cut or scratch, or a patch of eczema. Your baby probably got it from an infected person or pet, or from touching contaminated sheets, towels, toys, or clothes. Your baby could also have got it from infected soil if she was crawling around in the garden or park.<br />
<br />
Scalp ringworm is much more likely to have been passed to your baby from another person, from sharing a hairbrush, towels, bed linen, or hat. Shared public facilities, such as swimming pools, public toilets, or changing room showers, are also potential sources of ringworm infection.</p>

<h2>How should I treat my baby&#39;s ringworm?</h2>

<p>For any unusual rash on your baby, start by talking with his doctor. She will decide the best treatment for you baby. This could include:<br />
<br />
<strong>Antifungal cream</strong><br />
Your baby&#39;s ringworm should clear up if you treat it with an antifungal cream, the same type of cream used for athlete&#39;s foot. Look for a product with one per cent or two per cent of clotrimazole or miconazole. Ask your paediatrician for advice.<br />
<br />
Put a small amount of the cream over and a little bit beyond the infected area twice a day. Carry on treating it for a further one week to two weeks once the rash has cleared. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.<br />
<br />
Some children are sensitive to these creams, so try using only a little bit of the cream first to see how your baby&#39;s skin reacts.<br />
<br />
If a rash develops in response to the cream, take your baby to the doctor. Your doctor will suggest alternative creams.<br />
<br />
Ringworm should get better with treatment in about four weeks. If your baby&#39;s ringworm carries on for longer than this, take her to the doctor.<br />
<br />
If your baby has a stubborn case of ringworm, the doctor may prescribe something stronger than the over-the-counter cream. And in some rare cases (rarely), an oral medication is also necessary.<br />
<br />
<strong>Medicated shampoo and oral antifungal</strong><br />
If your baby has ringworm on her scalp, this can be more difficult to treat using a cream. See your doctor, who will probably prescribe antifungal tablets and a medicated shampoo.<br />
<br />
Your child might also develop an area of inflammation, called a kerion, in response to the fungus. It&#39;ll appear as a moist, swollen area on the scalp, with pustules (little pimple-like bumps). This will clear up when you treat your toddler&#39;s scalp for the ringworm.<br />
<br />
It is also important to follow these hygiene measures to help remove the ringworm fungus from around your home:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Gently wash and dry the areas of ringworm on your baby&#39;s body. Take care with the areas between the toes and skin folds. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.</li>
	<li>Wash your hands after applying antifungal cream or shampoo to your baby&#39;s skin.</li>
	<li>Dress your child appropriately for the weather so that he doesn&#39;t overheat and sweat too much.</li>
	<li>Don&#39;t let others (like siblings) share towels, hairbrushes, pillows, clothing, or similar items with your baby.</li>
	<li>Dress your baby in full-length, loose-fitting cotton clothes that cover her legs and arms. If she&#39;s walking, have her wear sandals at pool areas, in locker rooms and when she is playing in the garden or park.</li>
	<li>Keep your baby&#39;s fingernails short to prevent her scratching and spreading the infection to other parts of her body.</li>
</ul>

<p>You may have heard that there are some herbal remedies for treating ringworm. However, it&#39;s best to consult your doctor before starting any other treatment for your baby.</p>

<h2>Can ringworm cause any complications for my child?</h2>

<p>Occasionally ringworm can spread to another part of your baby&#39;s body. If it appears on her scalp, there&#39;s a small possibility it could cause slight scarring or hair loss.<br />
<br />
Ringworm can sometimes lead to a secondary infection by bacteria or another fungus. Your baby may need antibiotics if she develops another infection. Take your baby to the doctor if your baby develops other rashes or symptoms.</p>

<h2>Can I do anything to make sure my baby doesn&#39;t get ringworm again?</h2>

<p>It&#39;s hard to protect your baby from ringworm, but there are a few things you can do to keep it from spreading further:</p>

<ul>
	<li>If other family members or anyone caring for your baby shows symptoms, make sure they get treated immediately.</li>
	<li>Check pets to make sure that they don&#39;t have any scaly, hairless patches. If they do, take them to the veterinarian for treatment. Animals can sometimes carry the fungus without showing any signs of it. In fact, it&#39;s a good idea to take your pet for a check-up if your baby keeps getting re-infected.</li>
	<li>Make sure everyone in your household follows good hand hygiene.</li>
	<li>If your baby has ringworm on her scalp, treat all family members with antifungal shampoo.</li>
	<li>Wash bedding, towels, and clothes in hot water. If you suspect any hairbrushes, combs or clothes may be infected, throw them away.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Should I keep my baby or toddler away from his daycare, playschool or cr&egrave;che?</h2>

<p>Generally speaking, you don&rsquo;t need to keep her away from his usual activities. Ask your daycare provider what the centre&rsquo;s policy is on children attending when they have ringworm. Once your baby has started treatment, it should be no problem, but until then, they may or may not want you to keep her at home.</p>

<p>As a parent, one of the most worrying things is when your baby starts refusing food. While it&#39;s common for babies and children to have occasional picky eating habits, there could be other underlying reasons why a child may not be eating. There can be multiple reasons behind a baby not eating food and it&#39;s important to understand these reasons in order to find a solution.  </p>

<p>In this article, we will delve into the reasons behind a baby refusing to eat, signs to look out for, causes, health risks, and how to increase baby appetite.  </p>

<h2><strong>What is Loss of Appetite in Babies? </strong></h2>

<p>Loss of appetite in babies is when a baby refuses to eat or shows a lack of interest in food. This can be a temporary phase or a long-term issue. It&#39;s important to note that babies have small stomachs and their appetite can vary from day to day. However, if your child refuses to eat anything or is losing weight, it&#39;s important to seek medical advice. </p>

<h2><strong>What are the Signs of Baby Loss of Appetite? </strong></h2>

<p>Here are some signs to look out for that may signal a loss of appetite in your baby: </p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Refusing to open their mouth when presented with food </p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Spitting out food </p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Throwing food or utensils </p>
	</li>
	<li>

<h2><strong>What Could Be the Reasons for a Baby Not Eating Food? </strong></h2>

<p>Now, let us understand the possible reasons for a baby refusing to eat: </p>

<h3>1. Illness or teething  </h3>

<p>Babies may lose their appetite due to illness, such as infections or a sore throat. Sore throat can make swallowing difficult and result in decreased appetite. Similarly, infections such as flu and ear infections can cause pain and make it difficult for babies to eat. <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/is-your-child-four-to-seven-months-old-and-teethin-13182">Teething</a> can also cause discomfort and pain, leading to a loss of appetite. </p>

<h3>2. Changes in routine or environment  </h3>

<p>Any significant changes in a baby&#39;s routine or environment, such as starting daycare or traveling, can affect their appetite. Babies may feel unsettled and less inclined to eat during such transitions. </p>

<h3>3. Overfeeding or underfeeding  </h3>

<p>Overfeeding can lead to a baby feeling full and not hungry, while underfeeding can result in a lack of energy and decreased appetite. </p>

<h3>4. Food allergies or intolerances  </h3>

<p>Babies with <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/lactose-intolerance-in-babies-a-parent%E2%80%99s-guide-to-identifying-and-managing-it-223802">food allergies or intolerances</a> may experience digestive issues or discomfort after consuming certain foods. This can lead to a loss of appetite. </p>

<h3>5. Emotional stress or anxiety  </h3>

<p>Babies can pick up on their parents&#39; stress or anxiety, which may affect their appetite. Emotional stress or changes in the family dynamic can also impact a baby&#39;s eating habits. </p>

<h3>6. Medications  </h3>

<p>Certain medications can have side effects that affect a baby&#39;s appetite. It is important to consult with a doctor about any potential effects of medications on a baby&#39;s appetite. </p>

<h3>7. Developmental changes  </h3>

<p>Babies go through various developmental stages, and these changes can affect their appetite. For example, during <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/baby-growth-when-do-growth-spurts-occur-in-babies-172509?">growth spurts</a>, babies may experience fluctuations in their appetite as their nutritional needs increase. Similarly, babies&#39; growth slows down after the first six months, so their calorie intake decreases accordingly.  </p>

<p>Understanding the cause of your baby&#39;s loss of appetite can help you find a solution. </p>

<h2><strong>What Can Be the Health Risks of a Baby Refusing to Eat? </strong></h2>

<p>If your child refuses to eat anything, it may raise the following health concerns for them: </p>

<h3>1. Malnutrition </h3>

<p>Malnutrition is a significant health risk for babies who refuse to eat. Malnutrition can result from inadequate protein or energy intake. Malnourishment can cause unintentional weight loss, reduced appetite, and slow growth in children. If left untreated, malnutrition can lead to severe illness and even death.  </p>

<h3>2. Dehydration </h3>

<p>Dehydration is another risk associated with not eating food. When a baby doesn&#39;t eat enough, they may not be getting enough fluids, which can cause dehydration. Dehydration can cause fatigue, irritability, and in severe cases, seizures and shock. </p>

<h3>3. <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/baby-developmental-delay-what-you-should-know-221300?">Delayed development</a></h3>

<p>When a baby doesn&#39;t get the nutrients they need, their growth and development may be affected. Slow growth, changes in behavior, and low energy levels are common symptoms in underdeveloped children.  </p>

<h3>4. Weak immune system </h3>

<p>Babies who don&#39;t eat enough may not have the nutrients they need to maintain a healthy immune system. This can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. </p>

<h3>5. Behavioral issues </h3>

<p>Hunger can cause irritability and fussiness in babies, which can lead to behavioral issues like tantrums and difficulty sleeping. </p>

<p>Malnutrition and dehydration are the most serious health risks associated with a baby&#39;s loss of appetite. It&#39;s important to seek medical advice if you have concerns about your baby&#39;s health. </p>

<h2><strong>How to Increase Appetite in Kids? </strong></h2>

<p>Having understood the causes and health risks of baby loss of appetite, let us now understand how to increase baby appetite: </p>

<h3>1. Stick to a routine </h3>

<p>Establish regular meal and snack times to create a structured eating schedule.  </p>

<h3>2. Offer a variety of foods </h3>

<p>Introduce a wide range of nutritious foods to encourage interest and prevent boredom.  </p>

<h3>3. Make mealtimes enjoyable </h3>

<p>Create a pleasant and relaxed environment during meals by engaging in positive interactions and conversation.  </p>

<h3>4. Avoid distractions during feeding times </h3>

<p>Try not to have anything around your baby that may distract them from the food on their plate. For example, you can probably tell your child some interesting stories while you feed them. </p>

<h3>5. Be patient and persistent </h3>

<p>Encourage the baby to try different foods, even if they initially reject them. It may take several attempts before they develop a liking for certain flavors or textures.  </p>

<h3>6. Offer small meals and snacks throughout the day </h3>

<p>Instead of overwhelming the baby with large portions, provide frequent small meals and snacks to stimulate their appetite.  </p>

<h3>7. Make food visually appealing </h3>

<p>Avoid a boring menu and introduce something more attractive and exciting. Try to offer your baby foods in different colours and shapes to appeal to their senses. </p>

<h3>8. Offer fluids in between meals </h3>

<p>Ensure that the baby stays hydrated by offering fluids like water or breast milk/formula in between meals.  </p>

<h3>9. Increase zinc intake </h3>

<p>Make sure that you increase the zinc portion in your child&#39;s meal. Lack of zinc in your baby&#39;s body affects the appetite. </p>

<h3>10. Add digestive ingredients </h3>

<p>There are certain ingredients that, when mixed into your baby&#39;s food, will improve digestion. Ajwain, Hing, ginger and cinnamon are great ways of enhancing your baby&#39;s appetite. </p>

<h3>11. Avoid force-feeding </h3>

<p>One of the most important rules is - never to force-feed your baby. Forcing your baby to eat food may put them off food even more. Let your baby decide when he/she is full. </p>

<h3>12. Use positive reinforcement </h3>

<p>Praise and reward the baby for eating well or trying new foods, which can reinforce positive eating behaviors.  </p>

<h3>13. Seek medical advice if necessary </h3>

<p>If despite constant efforts to increase your baby&rsquo;s appetite, you don&rsquo;t see any positive results, it may be best to consult a pediatrician who can help diagnose the reason and recommend an effective solution.  </p>

<p>It&#39;s important to remember that each baby is unique and what works for one may not work for another. Finding the best approach to increase your baby&#39;s appetite may take time and patience. </p>

Understanding the Reasons & Solutions for a Baby Not Eating Food

<h2><strong>मंकीपौक्स क्या है? </strong></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">यह एक ऐसी बीमारी है जो एक ऑर्थोपॉक्सवायरस के कारण पैदा होती है और इसके कारण चेचक तक हो सकता है. हालांकि यह बहुत गंभीर नहीं है और इन्सानों में इसका पहला केस साल 1970 में देखा गया था. इसका वायरस पहली बार 1958 में एक ऐसी लैब के बंदरों में पाया गया था जहां किसी रिसर्च के लिए बहुत सारे बंदरों, चूहों और गिलहरियों को रखा गया था. डब्ल्यू एच ओ ने इस वायरस के अजीब और असामान्य रूप से फैलने के बारे में सभी के लिए एक अलर्ट जारी किया है जिसमें यह चेतावनी दी गयी है कि दुनिया के कई सारे हिस्सों में मंकीपॉक्स के मामले बढ़ते हुए दिख रहे हैं और इसलिए सभी देश इस को लेकर अलर्ट मोड़ में रहें.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">यह मुख्य रूप से सेंट्रल और वेस्ट अफ्रीका के ट्रोपिकल रेन फ़ौरेस्ट ऐरियाज़ से शुरू हुआ था लेकिन हाल ही में इसके लक्षण नाइजीरिया, कैमरून, कांगो रिपब्लिक, सिएरा लियोन, सेंट्रल अफ्रीकन रिपब्लिक, इज़राइल, सिंगापुर, यूनाइटेड किंगडम, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका, कोटे डी आइवर, गैबॉन, और कई अन्य देशों के लोगों में भी रिपोर्ट किए गए हैं. पूरे विश्व के स्तर पर इसके लगभग 100 कन्फर्म्ड केसेज डब्ल्यूएचओ (विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन) की जानकारी में हैं और ये सभी मामले इंटेरनैशनल ट्रैवल या जानवरों के इम्पोर्ट से जुड़े हैं.</span></p>

<h2><strong>मंकीपॉक्स के लक्षण </strong></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">इस बीमारी के लक्षण चेचक के लक्षणों से मिलते जुलते होते हैं लेकिन थोड़े हल्के होते हैं, जैसे: </span></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">बुखार </span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">शरीर पर लाल चकत्ते </span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">थकावट </span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">सिरदर्द </span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">शरीर पर घाव </span></p>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">खुजली </span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">ठंड लगना </span></p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p><span style="font-size:16px">मांसपेशियों में दर्द होना </span></p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">लेकिन चेचक और मंकीपॉक्स के बीच का अंतर यह है कि जब कोई व्यक्ति मंकीपॉक्स से पीड़ित होता है तो वह कई तरह ले कोंप्लीकेशंज़ के साथ-साथ सूजे हुए लिम्फ नोड्स जिसे लिम्फैडेनोपैथी कहा जाता है उससे भी पीड़ित होता है और यह सब लक्षण 2-4 हफ्ते तक बने रह सकते हैं.</span></p>

<h2><strong>मंकीपॉक्स का ट्रीटमेंट </strong></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">अभी तक इस बीमारी का कोई निश्चित इलाज़ नहीं ढूंढा जा सका है लेकिन डॉक्टर्स केवल उन रोगियों को एंटीवायरल दवाएं दे रहे हैं जो इस बीमारी के कारण हाई रिस्क पर हों या इसके इन्फेक्शन को अन्य लोगों तक फैलाने का खतरा बन सकते हों.</span></p>

<h2><strong>मंकीपॉक्स कैसे फैलता है? </strong></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">यह किसी जानवर और इंसान के बीच एक दूसरे को छूने या बेहद नजदीक जाने के कारण आसानी से फैल सकता है. साथ ही यह स्किन पर खरोंच लगने, काटने, त्वचा के दानों या इनफ़ेकटेड बिस्तर और कपड़े और साथ ही पहले से इनफ़ेकटेड लोगों/जानवरों की साँसों और सलाइवा के माध्यम से भी फ़ेल सकता है.</span></p>

<h2><strong>बच्चों में मंकीपॉक्स का ट्रांसमिशन </strong></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">जंगल क्षेत्र के आसपास रहने वाले लोग इस संक्रामक रोग के प्रति अधिक संवेदनशील हैं क्योंकि वह अक्सर जानवरों के संपर्क में आते रहते हैं. इसके साथ साथ किसी इनफ़ेकटेड जानवर का अधपका मांस खाना या उसकी त्वचा से बने प्रोडक्ट्स का उपयोग करना भी इस बीमारी को जन्म दे सकते हैं. किसी हेल्थ वर्कर को भी यह ट्रांसमिशन हो सकता है जब वह इस बीमारी से पीड़ित किसी मरीज की देखभाल कर रहा हो. इसके अलावा अगर कोई महिला गर्भवती है तो यह संक्रमण प्लेसेंटा के जरिए मां से गर्भस्थ शिशु तक भी पहुंच सकता है. हालांकि अभी तक इस बात के पक्के सबूत नहीं मिले हैं कि यह सेक्सुएल रिलेशञ्ज़ बनाने पर भी फैलता है या नहीं.</span></p>

<h2><strong>मंकीपॉक्स वैक्सीन </strong></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:16px">एक्सपर्ट्स के अनुसार, चिकनपौक्स का वैक्सीन लगभग 85% मंकीपॉक्स को रोकने में प्रभावी पाया गया है। कई रिसर्च से यह पाया गया है कि इस बीमारी के प्रकोप को कंट्रोल करने के लिए सिडोफोविर, वीआईजी (वैक्सीना इम्यून ग्लोब्युलिन), और एसटी -246 का भी उपयोग करना फायदेमंद रहेगा।</span></p>

<p>Colic problems, also known as baby colic, is a condition in young babies where they cry due to some internal discomfort. It usually manifests in form of excessive and constant crying in a baby who is well-fed and healthy in all other ways. The condition shows in babies who are three to six weeks old. It can stay up to four months and is a real source of frustration for parents. It has been seen that up to 40% of infants experience baby colic signs and symptoms. It is more common in babies who are breastfeeding or have just started to be fed with a formula.</p>

<p>If you are a first-time parent and trying to understand baby colic signs, you have to focus on your baby&rsquo;s mood. They become cranky and start crying easily, especially after their meals. This should be an indicator that your baby might have colic and you have to find ways to fix it.</p>

<h2><strong>What are the most helpful home remedies for colic?</strong></h2>

<p>If you notice clear colic symptoms in your baby, you have to act quick. While it is not a major problem and resolves with age, it is a great discomfort for your baby. And you as a parent have to resolve this. Luckily, there are a number of colic remedies for breastfeeding babies that you can do at home. Let us discuss these remedies at length.</p>

<h3><strong>1. Carry your baby around</strong></h3>

<p>Many paediatricians suggest that one of the best baby colic remedies is to carry the baby around. After feeding or anytime they are awake, a baby responds very well when they are being carried around for longer periods of time. This helps with their digestion and can reduce the colic condition.</p>

<h3><strong>2. Lay them on the tummy</strong></h3>

<p>Colic and crying are two simultaneous signs of a baby being in discomfort. The first thing to do when your baby is crying more than usual - is to roll your baby over on their tummy. This has been proven to help in better digestion and circulation of the baby. It is a great way to avoid colic when your baby is around three to four weeks old.</p>

<h3><strong>3. Hold them upright</strong></h3>

<p>If you are trying to avoid colic in babies, the best thing you can do is to hold them upright after they have been fed. This helps to avoid gastroesophageal reflux, which may be a leading cause of colic as well as gastric diseases later in the baby&rsquo;s life. Holding them upright also helps avoid acid reflux which can make babies irritated.</p>

<h3><strong>4. Massage with an oil</strong></h3>

<p>A good massage once or twice a day helps in the overall circulation of a baby. This means they will be able to digest their food well and there will be lesser chances of colic in them. Make sure you use essential oil or a medicated oil with recommendations from your paediatrician. It helps to avoid a skin rash in a very young baby.</p>

<h3><strong>5. Regulate the room temperature</strong></h3>

<p>Sometimes when there is a drastic change in temperature around a baby, it can induce colic in them. To avoid this, make sure your baby is at a temperature that keeps them comfortable. It helps them indigestion as well as fall asleep fast which helps to avoid any bouts of colic.</p>

<h3><strong>6. Try using a swing</strong></h3>

<p>Keeping a baby in some kind of movement has been proven to be a colic treatment. Usually, babies with colic conditions need soothing more than anything else. Try using a swing or movable crib to keep a baby in motion when they are sleeping or after feeding them. Using a mechanical swing that has remote-controlled movements can be a piece of good equipment to have. You can set a certain speed and motion that keeps the baby calm.</p>

<p>It is okay to be worried about your baby&rsquo;s condition. But you should know that colic is temporary and can be easily resolved without any kind of medication. In case you notice something going wrong, always consult your paediatrician and take the next step. This will keep both you and your baby healthy.</p>

<p>Catching a cold or dealing with a cough is never a pleasant experience. Having a cough and cold during pregnancy can be pretty tricky, especially if you cannot safely take over-the-counter drugs to assist in alleviating your discomfort. This leaves you with little choice but to endure the duration of the cold while employing home remedies for cold and cough during pregnancy.</p>

<p>Common cold is basically an upper respiratory tract illness caused by a virus that has an adverse effect on your health. In addition to <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/cold-and-flu-during-pregnancy-how-to-prevent--44474">coughing and sneezing</a>, common cold can include nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, and sneezing. In contrast to bacterial diseases, which may be treated with antibiotics, there is no recognized antidote for the common cold.</p>

<p>Fortunately, there are several home remedies that expecting mothers can resort to for relieving their symptoms. In this article, we will discuss 12 such home remedies that are easy to try and effective.</p>

<h2><strong>Does Cold and Cough During Pregnancy Affect the Baby?</strong></h2>

<p> </p>

<p>No, colds and coughs during pregnancy typically do not affect the baby. They are generally mild illnesses that pregnant women can treat with rest, fluids, and other remedies. However, it is important to take precautions and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist for more than a few days. Pregnant women should avoid over-the-counter medications and instead focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying hydrated, and consuming a diet rich in vitamin C and zinc to alleviate symptoms.</p>

<h2><strong>Home Remedies For Cold and Cough During Pregnancy</strong> </h2>

<p>Here are some effective home remedies you can try to relieve cough and cold in pregnancy:</p>

<h3><strong>1. Garlic </strong></h3>

<p>Pregnant women can benefit from garlic&#39;s potent combination of antibacterial, antiseptic, and antiviral qualities, making it effective against viruses and bacteria that cause the common cold. According to some scientific research, garlic may also help <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/home-remedies-to-control-high-blood-pressure-in-pregnancy-152180">lower blood pressure levels</a>, improve circulation, and keep cholesterol levels stable during pregnancy.</p>

<p>Garlic might not have the best taste but will surely help in decongestion of your chest. To reduce the raw taste, you can chop the garlic, add some honey, and have it. It is recommended to consume this at least two to three times a day.</p>

<h3><strong>2. Honey and Lemon </strong></h3>

<p>Honey&#39;s anti-flu and immunity-boosting characteristics make it one of the most effective Indian home remedies for cough and cold in pregnancy. <a href="https://mylofamily.com//article/honey-during-pregnancy-benefits-effects-200140">Consuming honey</a> in various forms (such as tea or lukewarm water) can help pregnant women avoid the flu.</p>

<p>The recipe to consume lemon and honey is simple. Just mix a glass of warm water with one teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of lemon juice to make a perfect <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/which-cough-syrup-is-safe-in-pregnancy-169979?">safe cough syrup in pregnancy</a>. This mixture should be consumed three to four times a day.</p>

<h3><strong>3. Apple Cider Vinegar </strong></h3>

<p>Pregnant women can use <a href="https://mylofamily.com/naturals/mylo-naturals-acv-effervescent-tablets-20s-3119?">apple cider vinegar</a> as a safe and effective therapy for a cold during pregnancy. Viruses cannot thrive in the alkaline environment created by apple cider vinegar. Pregnant women should begin drinking apple cider vinegar as soon as they see the first signs of a cold.</p>

<p>Mixing two spoons of apple cider vinegar in tea or water and sipping three times a day is a harmless medication. Ideally speaking, if you want to achieve maximum benefits from apple cider vinegar, you should gargle it raw, mix it with warm water and then gulp it entirely. This could be a challenging task as apple cider vinegar can be bitter or can even taste weird!</p>

<h3><strong>4. Turmeric </strong></h3>

<p>Turmeric, like ginger, has been used for ages as a herbal treatment to cure a variety of diseases, including cold, cough, and nasal inflammation. Curcumin, a key element in turmeric, is a powerful anti-inflammatory and potent antioxidant which supports the immune system.</p>

<p>The combination of turmeric and ginger can help reduce inflammation and improve your immune system&#39;s performance. You can also add turmeric powder and black pepper to warm milk for health benefits. Try sipping this twice a day if you&#39;re feeling under the weather.</p>

<h3><strong>5. Saltwater gargling </strong></h3>

<p>By gargling with <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/benefits-of-drinking-warm-water-during-pregnancy-196788">warm water</a>, about 40% of respiratory infections can be reduced. Saline solutions extract excess fluids and remove bacteria, allergens, and fungus from the throat. Saltwater gargling is one of the best and safest home remedies for cough during pregnancy.</p>

<p>You need to mix half a teaspoon of salt into a glass of lukewarm water and gargle using the same. Repeat twice a day. You can even try putting a few drops of this solution in your nose to treat your blocked nose.</p>

<h3><strong>6. Water  </strong></h3>

<p>Keep in mind that staying hydrated is particularly crucial if you would like to get rid of a cold as quickly as possible. A cold or cough causes the body to lose more water than it would otherwise. In order to avoid dehydration and to decongest the body, it is recommended to drink lots of warm water throughout the day. It is also useful to have clear broth or warm lemon water.</p>

<h3><strong>7. Coconut oil </strong></h3>

<p><a href="https://mylofamily.com/care/cold-pressed-extra-virgin-coconut-oil-for-skin-hair-200-ml-211">Coconut oil</a> is well-known for fighting off fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. Due to the presence of high concentrations of lauric acid in coconut oil, this oil is highly effective in dissolving the lipid coating around viruses and shattering the virus envelop, slowing virus maturation, and blocking viral proteins from adhering to the host cell membrane.</p>

<p>Coconut oil is relatively safe to use during pregnancy, and it can be applied topically as well as orally. Add a spoon of edible coconut oil to a hot beverage to free you from cold. The lauric acid in coconut oil kills the viruses causing infection.</p>

<h3><strong>8. Ginger </strong></h3>

<p>From our ancestors to our elders, ginger has always been a permanent resident of our kitchens for centuries now. The reason for this is its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antioxidant properties. Thankfully for pregnant women, ginger can effectively cure cough and cold during pregnancy as there is no proven risk that it can impose either on the mother-to-be or on the child.</p>

<p>To consume ginger, you can add a piece of crushed or grated ginger to boiling water. To this, add honey and lemon, and sip it. This incredible spice also boosts blood circulation. You can also sprinkle sea salt on a tiny piece of ginger and chew it for a while. Repeat this twice or thrice in a day.</p>

<h3><strong>9. Humidifier </strong></h3>

<p>Colds are more common in the fall and winter, especially if you&#39;re pregnant and unable to take your typical over-the-counter medications. When it&#39;s chilly outside, the lack of humidity and the dry heat from heaters might cause you to feel suffocated and irritated. As a result, you&#39;ll want to get a humidifier.</p>

<p>Humidifiers aid in moistening the nose, throat, and lung passageways by increasing the amount of moisture in the air. As a result, breathing becomes more comfortable, and congestion in the nose and other nasal passages is alleviated. Essential oils, such as peppermint, menthol, or tea tree oil, can be added to some humidifiers to improve the (humidifier) calming benefits.</p>

<h3><strong>10. Chest rub  </strong></h3>

<p>Congestion in the chest can be relieved by using commercially available chest rubs. On the other hand, pregnant women may be intolerant to solid odors and despise the cooling effect that a chest rub produces. However, there is a different approach to making good use of these. Put on stockings and apply chest massage on the soles of your feet at night. A cough and cold in pregnancy can be alleviated by taking this supplement.</p>

<h3><strong>11. Vitamin C </strong></h3>

<p>Consuming vitamin C-rich foods is highly recommended as it can help boost your immunity and keep your body strong and healthy. Therefore, you need to include all those foods rich in <a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/your-guide-to-vitamin-c-benefits-daily-requirements-sources-147633?">Vitamin C</a> such as oranges, tangerines, kiwis, strawberries, and grapes and green vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, potatoes, green leafy vegetables, etc.</p>

<h3><strong>12. Onions</strong></h3>

<p><a href="https://mylofamily.com/article/onion-in-pregnancy-benefits-side-effects-206079">Consumption of onions</a> to get rid of cough and cold during pregnancy third trimester and even, in general, is a real option and is even easy to consume. Rich in quercetin and sulphuric compounds, onion kills several viruses and bacteria capable of causing infections. Eating raw onions is one of the most effective indian home remedies for cough during pregnancy.</p>

<p>You can consume onions either in their natural form by just slicing them in a bowl and eating them or even using them as toppings on your homemade fresh vegetable burgers/pizzas/sabzis. If you are not a raw onion fan, just slice one onion in a bowl and then mix about 2 cups of drinking water. This mixture of onion juice should be regularly consumed three to four times.</p>

<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>

<p>There are plenty of home remedies for cold and cough during pregnancy. These home remedies may have varying degrees of effectiveness on different women, so experiment with them to find the ones that work best for you. It is recommended, however, that you consult your doctor before trying these home remedies during pregnancy.</p>

Wheezing in toddlers: How to treat?

<h2><strong>What is Monkeypox?</strong></h2>

<p>It is a rare disease that is caused by an Orthopoxvirus which also causes cowpox and smallpox. It is a less severe disease and the first human case was detected in the year 1970. Although this virus was first detected in monkeys in the year 1958 in a Danish laboratory where a lot of monkeys, rats, and squirrels were kept for some research. The World Health Organization has warned everyone about this unusual spread of the virus as monkeypox cases are growing in numbers in various parts of the globe.</p>

<p>It primarily occurred in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa. Recently, it has been reported in people of various countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, Israel, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States of America, Cote d&#39;Ivoire, Gabon, and many more. Nearly 100 confirmed cases globally have already been reported to WHO (The World Health Organization). These cases are linked to either international traveling or importing of animals.</p>

<h2><strong>Monkeypox Symptoms</strong></h2>

<p>The symptoms of this disease are similar to or milder than the symptoms of smallpox which include:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Fever</li>
	<li>Body rash</li>
	<li>Exhaustion</li>
	<li>Headache</li>
	<li>Lesions</li>
	<li>Scabies</li>
	<li>Chills</li>
	<li>Muscle ache</li>
</ul>

<p>The only difference between smallpox and monkeypox is that when a person is suffering from monkeypox then h/she suffers from swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) along with other medical complications. The symptoms can last up to 2-4 weeks.</p>

<h2><strong>Monkeypox Treatment</strong></h2>

<p>Till now there has been no specific treatment approved for this ailment. Clinicians can only consider giving antiviral medications to people who are suffering from this disease or are at high risk of developing this contagion.</p>

<h2><strong>How does Monkeypox Spread?</strong></h2>

<p>It is easily transmitted by touching or having close contact between an animal and a human. The risk of transmission increases through a scratch, a bite, a rash, or sharing contaminated bedding and clothing with ooze-pus lesions, and respiratory droplets of already infected people/animals.</p>

<h2><strong>Monkeypox Transmission in Kids</strong></h2>

<p>People living near forested areas are more prone to this contagious disease because they have direct or indirect contact with the animals. Eating inadequately cooked meat of already infected animals or using products made from the skin of already infected animals can also be possible factors of having this disease. Transmission can also occur when a healthcare worker is taking care of a patient suffering from this disease. If a woman is pregnant then it can also be transmitted from the mother to the fetus via the placenta. It is still unclear at this point whether this disease is transmitted through sexual relations or not.</p>

<h2><strong>Monkeypox Vaccine</strong></h2>

<p>According to experts, the vaccination of smallpox is approximately 85% effective in preventing monkeypox. Through several observational studies, it has been found that Cidofovir, VIG (Vaccina Immune Globulin), and ST-246 can also be used to control an outbreak of this disease.</p>

<h2><strong>Monkeypox Prevention</strong></h2>

<p>The Ministry of Health and ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) is developing the guidelines for community awareness. Identification of sick people who returned from Monkeypox affected countries are put into strong surveillance and isolation is recommended. This disease is not dangerous at this point, however, the threat of mutation of the virus has paralyzed the world with fright. Some countries are developing policies to offer the vaccine to people who may be at high risk of getting this contagious disease be it health care workers, laboratory personnel, or rapid response teams.</p>
